    Finally got my truck back. not finished but still pretty excited on how its turning out. The guy I took it to did a excellent job. Funny story with that in 1975 the toyota dealer ship was beside his shop and contracted him to put the beds and stripes on the sport models for them. so he put the stripes and bed on THAT truck when it was new haha. painfully he had a whole roll of the NOS stripes that he threw away thinking no one would ever need them but i think these are pretty dang close.

    Yeah, these older toyotas seem to be far and few between only thing that saved me was ebay and here. I even got the original mud flaps for the thing which im debating on having on all the time scared I lose one. I been getting all kinds of stares riding around in this thing even had a guy give me a thumbs up haha. I got a good bit invested but I think its well worth having something that no one else has got.
